Lon-jose
Gilberts choice of green serpentine brought the frog to life, while the turquoise accents added a touch of whimsy and elegance. The intricate carving work on the frog's body captured every curve and texture, making it appear almost lifelike. The addition of the inlaid dots and eyes made the frog seem even more realistic, as if it were ready to hop off the leaf at any moment. Overall, Gilbert's creation was a true work of art that would undoubtedly be cherished by anyone lucky enough to own it.
Frog (Da:k'yawiyo): Toad (Dakka) Frog (Dakkya) is a sign of water. Water is life.

Cleansing is also a part of Frog’s meaning as well as emotional and physical healing. .
